Onion News anchorman Norm Archer (Len Cariou) is s principled journalist, so when he's asked to bend to the will of his corporate overlords he decides to strike back with a fury unheard of in the world of network news. Nothing is sacred as the creative force behind The Onion unleash an unrelenting barrage of satire on such subjects as pop stars, prisoners, peace talks, and blockbuster action films. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Poor and ridiculous spoof movie about the news source. Lack of laughs. This is the worst spoof movie I ever watched.

Essentially a scattershot collection of sketches, the "story" concerns a news anchor asked to compromise his journalistic integrity in order to please a corporate sponsor. There are a few genuine laughs, but the gags are mostly hit or miss.

And Steven Seagal is THE COCKPUNCHER. It's a very American comedy, and more a series of sketches pulled together at the end than a movie. The Onion has always been funny, I've been a reader since 2003 and I like the Onion's new forays into podcasts, videos, and sketches, and this is the movie form of that..stuff. Plus there's mock-sublimnal use of gay sex!

If you notice my rating, it isn't 1/2 a star, which is where I started before watching this decent comedic picture.<p>So, what makes this film more successful than, let's say, <i>Date Movie</i>. The plot, or lack of plot that is. You see this film has no plot other then to mock a funny newspaper. There is no flow here. Instead, this film is basically 80 minutes of random skits, with Len Cariou, who plays the leading news anchor perfectly, filling in the time between these skits by pretending he is giving out news headlines. This is one way to go to create a good comedy.</p><p>A good portion of the comedy in here is racial and sexual, but it does manage to get some laughs. Way more so, than <i>Scary Movie 2</i>. There are a bunch of those ridiculous comedic scenes as well. Some are funny and some are, well, stupid. The ending is partially clever too. It utilizes the concepts and characters from a bunch of the earlier skits.</p><p>Despite this movie swooping in under the radar, there are a bunch of recognizable faces in here. The most notable is Steven Seagal as the "Cockpuncher." You may also notice Daniel Dae Kim, Nick Chinlund, and even Michael Bolton. I can't forget to mention the sexy Sarah McElligott as Melissa Cherry.</p><p>This is not a comedic classic like <i>Spaceballs</i>, but it isn't a pile of crap like <i>Date Movie</i>. It is in the middle. For a measly 80 minutes of your life you can get a few laughs out of the cockpun ... I mean <i>The Onion Movie</i>.

Watch Steven Seagull.. sorry Seagal make fun of himself in: "Cockpuncher! The no 1 summer blockbuster!"

There is so much in the world to make fun of, and I think the Onion must have trouble deciding what to choose. The things they left in really were golden though, from Nick Chinlund's "nightmarish addiction to life" to the Armed Gunman's rise through the ranks of the working world. I especially liked the dead-on parody of the blatantly sexual imagery and lyrics of pop music princesses. I was surprised by how widely seen this movies is, but it definitely deserves the audience it got.

It is in no way a fair representation of the brilliance of the short internet sketches such as The Iron Man Trailer and Nick Nolte free cars. Some sketches have some nice ideas such as the mystery rape party but overall this is a huge miss. Satirical but very obvious. Luckily it was short.

For the most part it was really really stupid, but there were several good jokes as well.
